Thanks for the reply, Doug. The main problem is that areas not included in my custom table appear colored in freeview. These areas' numbers correctly correspond to their indices on the default FreeSurferColorLUT, although they don't appear labeled in the info panel, nor are they listed to the left of the main display. For instance, the left cerebral cortex (not on my list) is colored, and clicking on it yields an index of 3 in the info panel, but no label.
The good news is so far as I can tell, every area I specified does show up colored appropriately and has a label associated, but I have no idea where the ones I DIDN'T specify are coming from. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] Custom aseg Color Lookup Table Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:12:56 -0400 From: Douglas N Greve <gr...@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Try loading aseg.mgz as the aux volume so you can see the number at a particular voxel. If the color is not correct, see what the number is and what it corresponds to in the LUT doug On 08/19/2014 05:57 PM, C.P.
